What To Do When There Is No Sefer Torah

A story I heard today....

There was a group of survivors who went back to their old town soon after the holocaust. It was Simchas Torah but they had no Torahs with which to dance. There was a young survivor there who was holding her baby. The people asked her if they could dance with her baby in place of the Sefer Torah and she readily agreed.

They danced and danced....

Next time you see a Jewish baby, remember the holocaust and thank Hashem for the beautiful present He gave the world.

There is nothing better, holier and more pure than a Jewish child.
